Members Dark Angel Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 Originally posted by D/FW XJ'er see too many posts about how certain amps sound great at bedroom levels. But what if I actually LIKE my ears? I record loud. I wish mics and mic preamps could do a good job at low levels. I wish my drummer had an electronic kit so we could jam at singing volume and pods through a freakin' stereo. When I'm practicing I just want to hear it, not feel it.

Members buddastrat Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 Like having a Porsche and only driving in a school zone. Or like having a huge screen TV in a small room. I know some people with that, and it looks like {censored}. You sit so close and everything's blurry and distorted, but they think it's good, and it's their $ and that's the point. Life's short, do what you want and enjoy it. I would use a small amp in a house or apartment. I just think it sounds better. The only reason I still hang on to a couple of them is because they appreciate in value. But I don't use them unless in a band gigging at big venues.

Members pink freud Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 why hasnt anybody pointed out yet that the decibles out of a 100w amp are usually not that much louder than a 50w. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not necessary, because the troll really isn't interested, or smart enough to understand the concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scottosan Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 Originally posted by D/FW XJ'er = teh lose. 100 watt tube amps weren't meant to be played at bedroom levels. But keep wanking away. They do just fine in Bedrooms. If your can't here a tone difference between an 18 watt and a 100 watt amp at the same volume then there is a problem. personally I like thedynamics, headroom and clarity that is much easier to get with a high wattage amp.

Bob, I see you've updated your massive gear list 8 years early. You get an A for effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's not quite done yet, but I will have it completely by the due date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members clay_finley Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 Sometimes getting a pro-amp is part of a chain of events that leads to getting-in/starting a band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoosBros Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 I thought we beat this "dead horse" to death yesterday..... as far as bedroom wanking goes,,, that is best to be left private,, or if you're kinky,, on a porn site somewhere's else......
